I had an odd one this week. Many of you know I lost my father and godmother over the holidays. Well, Mom called last night and sounded bad (I'm in tune to her). Mom, what is wrong. Turns out my best friend in Florida died last night.

I just feel tired and worn out!

Sorry to hear this Claire, thinking of you xx

V, please keep us informed. As a former legal secretary I am interested in the outcome.

the conviction stands in the case of the police officer on trial for committing a fatal shooting. the judge has declined to declare a mistrial. this, despite a few of the jurors admitting to using a dictionary to look up definitions for words such as murder, willful and malicious, during their deliberations.

the defense attorney is asking for a sentence of three years instead of twenty-five, for his client.

Considering that the judge refused to declare a mistrial, I wouldn't even be surprised at probation.

I just received a notice from the Management that some residents have formed a "Wellness Club" where they have volunteered to go door to door once or twice a week to twice a month doing a wellness check on other residents.

I went to the lady who sent this message and told her I don't want this and that we should have a sign up sheet for those who are interested in participating.

She just said, "Just tell them no thanks!"

I don't want these kinds of interruptions, especially by other residents (anyone else for that matter).

What do I have to do, keep a note on my door at all times that I don't want to be disturbed? It's very vague as to when. We are supposed to get 24 hours notice (at least) for people to come in, but it was noted that no one should ask to come in our apartments.

I just don't want people coming by without notice, or invitation. Just knocking on my door is an invasion of my privacy, unless I know about it ahead of time.

I'm hoping I will be able to tell them just once that I'm not interested so that they won't come back. Grrrr!

We have a health aide in the building 12 hours a day. If I have been sick or am back from a hospital stay, they do check up on me for just a couple of days and mostly at night. But it is only once a day. Or I can call Winthrop and tell them to take me off the 'check on' list. I am fine. Winthrop no longer puts me on the list. They know I have a cold, but they also know that my son stops by here every night at 7 p.m. If they still insisted in spite of having the info about my son, then I would definitely consider it an invasion of privacy.

I can certainly understand your feelings about this Zhizara. I can't believe they would force this on you like that.

I also don't appreciate when people come without letting us know ahead of time.

If they don't honor your request to not bother you .. answer the door nekkid

Just kidding about that LOL

I hope it works out for you and people respect your space as they should.

Another thought occurred to me this morning, that I really don't think it's right for certain residents here to know about other resident's personal health issues.

I decide who to tell what about my health. I keep other residents at arms length. Now they want to force that distance.

It seems like this would be illegal as far as tenant's rights are concerned.

I think the wellness club is a great idea - for those who want it.

Yes, it is probably illegal for anyone to tell this "wellness club" anything about your health without your written permission. Hopefully, they will get that info from the individual residents who want to join the wellness club

Yes, it is a violation of HIPAA regulations. This should and must be in place with your management company. These folks who knock on doors need to know which doors to knock on...who told them? Or are they knocking on all doors?

Tell management that you will, absolutely scream loudly about HIPAA violations if these folks appear to know ANYTHING about your health information. Tell them once that you will not participate, if they pursue it, they are harassing you and you can report this to management AND the police.
